the smell of barbecue on the breeze sleeping with the windows open the first ice-cream or popsicles (grown up, pure fruit, but still… basically a popsicle!) in the freezer the smell of freshly cut grass the scent of sunscreen (reminds me of carefree summers before Life and Work) ---

The big block party being held across the street today (I got a big red balloon and played street hockey with the little kids) The warm, sunny evenings of sitting outside in the grass, watching the sunset, and hearing the wind in the trees The barbecues The sandals! The floppy hats and the bathing suits The beaches are calling… ---

Any other year, I would agree with you. But this year, after six months of non-stop rain (take _that_, Noah!), we had about 20 minutes of spring and moved straight to 90 degree days. My eyes and throat are both miserable from allergies (this from the guy who \*never \*has allergy problems), the Kings are out of the playoffs, and the Giants are in the cellar. Is it October yet? ---
